What does the Bible say about having a king?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible emphasizes the need for a king, particularly in the context of acknowledging God's sovereignty, as seen in Judges 21:25.

The Bible declares that true religion cannot exist without recognizing a king. In Judges 21:25, it states, 'In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes.' This verse highlights the chaos and disobedience that ensues when people reject the authority of a king. The absence of a king leads to a disregard for God's law and righteousness, resulting in moral decay and spiritual emptiness. In contrast, a true understanding of God demands acknowledgment of Christ as King, who governs with authority and provides salvation through His sovereignty.
